A Japanese conbini, aka snack heaven.


Maybe you’re familiar with Pocky, the chocolate covered sticks that come in a million varieties, or maybe you’ve seen pictures of weird Japanese Kit-Kat flavors like green tea, or wasabi! Beyond those though is a whole world of Japanese snacks to discover! The variety of gummy snacks alone is enough to make your dentist cry.

2. Japanese Ramen

A bowl of shio (salt) ramen is pure happiness.


Ramen holds a special place in the Japanese heart. Instant noodles are a popular meal and companies are always improving the quality and variety of noodles.


ZenPop Ramen Pack includes 9 big bowls of instant noodles. It features favorites like Tonkotsu, Shio, Shoyu, and Miso Ramen, but you’ll also find varieties of Udon, Soba, and Yakisoba to try. They are easy to make and with a little sprucing up, you’ll have as close to an authentic bowl of noodles as you could in Japan. Eat like a salaryman!

3. Japanese Ramen & Sweets!

4. Japanese Beauty and Cosmetics

Next to conbinis, drugstores are probably the most common store you’ll find in Japan. And one of the main items you’ll find there is cosmetics. The cosmetic industry in Japan is innovative and competitive, which means lots of great products are available for all!


ZenPop Beauty Pack contains 8 or more items like makeup, skincare, face masks, bath goods, accessories and more cute stuff. All picked by ZenPop’s Japanese staff in the know.

5. Japanese Stationery
